Hoping this is correct. Whats a Thread under a magazine, especially vs. a Microblog (kbin.social)

And why must I create a new 'article' to make a thread and not a post - which I think makes a new microblog.

I'm coming from a Mastodon POV, I run my own instance and have a pretty good idea (I think) about how federation works. The way ActivityPub is used is close enough to be familiar but also... not; very uncanny valley.

Additionally, if upvotes are favourites, what are downvotes? and how are they federated?

Articles are Lemmy/Reddit-style posts, microblogs are Mastodon/Twitter-style posts. Kbin is interesting in that it can talk to both types of networks this way.

As a new user, I have given you my very first upvote, by putting that in a simple but helpful way. Thanks.
